Abstract:
Plant responses to elicitors are the result of a series of highly modulated consecutive changes in hormones or reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the present study, we examined growth index, chlorophylls and carotenoid content, H2O2 content, membrane lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes (CAT, GPX, APX and SOD) activity and proline content in M. officinalis shoots culture that induced through the use of an elicitor, ABA. Mediums of M. officinalis were fed by different concentration of ABA (0, 5, 25, 50 and 100 µM) and 7 and 14 day after elicitation, biochemical and physiological parameters were measured in shoot cultures. Growth index of the treated samples decreased in all concentration of ABA compared to control. Content of chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll decreased in all concentrations of ABA compared to control. Content of carotenoid at 25 and 100 µM concentrations of ABA increased compared to control. ABA elicitor increased the amount of H2O2 at all concentration of ABA compared to control. Among the measured antioxidant enzymes APX enzyme and SOD enzyme increased at all concentrations of ABA. Content of lipid peroxidation increased only at 100 µM concentration of ABA compared to control. Content of proline increased at all concentration except at 5 µM concentration of ABA compared to control. ABA as a transmitter molecule seems to play an important role in the production of hydrogen peroxide and the production of antioxidant defense proteins such as catalase and peroxidases in shoot cultures of M. officinalis.
